Understanding Personal Injury Law in San Antonio

Personal injury law covers a wide range of incidents, from car crashes to workplace accidents, medical malpractice, and more. In San Antonio, these cases are governed by Texas law, which allows victims to pursue damages when they suffer injuries due to another party’s negligence or intentional actions.

Key categories of personal injury cases include:

Each type involves different legal challenges, and a tailored approach is necessary for success.

The Role of Negligence in Texas Personal Injury Claims

Negligence is the legal foundation for most personal injury claims. To win a case, your attorney must prove:

  1. Duty of care – The defendant owed you a legal duty.
  2. Breach of duty – That duty was violated.
  3. Causation – The breach caused your injuries.
  4. Damages – You suffered actual harm as a result.

Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule, meaning your compensation can be reduced if you’re found partially at fault. If you’re more than 50% at fault, you may be barred from recovering damages altogether.
